Solution

If release of insulin is not controlled, excess insulin lowers down the blood sugar level in such extent that the cells also cannot receive glucose for their normal activities. As a result the person may die due to lack of blood glucose or enter into coma stage.

Insulin is a hormone that secretes from pancreas and releases into the blood. The main role of insulin is to induce cells of our body to take up glucose inside the cell. As cells start absorbing glucose from the blood, glucose level reduces in blood. Again when we eat carbohydrate, it gets digested by the enzymes and forms glucose that are absorbed by the blood stream from the intestine. Glucose level increases in the blood till insulin orders the cells to absorb it from bloodstream.
